Nokia E90 vs Asus EEE PC 900 - The Microlaptop vs the Minilaptop
,----[ Quote ]
| The EEE PC portable computer range has received a lot of coverage over the
| past year partly due to its low price but also partly due to its small size.
| How does Asus' minilaptop compare to Nokia's microlaptop, the E90
| Communicator? All About Symbian is about to find out...
|
| [...]
|
| It's a bit of a predictable conclusion, but it has to be said: the E90 and
| EEE PC 900 are not really meant for the same purpose. They both provide
| physically smaller alternatives to a laptop featuring many of the same
| functions, but they do so in very different ways: the E90 acts as a
| carry-everywhere device for frequent use in short bursts (for example keeping
| tabs on your e-mail), while the EEE PC is meant for more occasional use with
| longer sessions (for example writing a long essay while away from home).
|
| The EEE PC 900 looks, works and feels almost exactly like a larger more
| expensive laptop. However the E90 really does fit in a pocket or handbag and
| doesn't require any external equipment to connect to the internet, so it's
| far more portable.
